{{jsxref("Temporal/PlainMonthDay/equals", "Temporal.PlainMonthDay.prototype.equals()")}} : Returns true if this month-day is equivalent in value to another month-day (in a form convertible by {{jsxref("Temporal/PlainMonthDay/from", "Temporal.PlainMonthDay.from()")}}), and false otherwise. They are compared both by their date values and their calendars. {{jsxref("Temporal/PlainMonthDay/toJSON", "Temporal.PlainMonthDay.prototype.toJSON()")}} : Returns a string representing this month-day in the same RFC 9557 format as calling {{jsxref("Temporal/PlainMonthDay/toString", "toString()")}}. Intended to be implicitly called by {{jsxref("JSON.stringify()")}}. {{jsxref("Temporal/PlainMonthDay/toLocaleString", "Temporal.PlainMonthDay.prototype.toLocaleString()")}} : Returns a string with a language-sensitive representation of this month-day. {{jsxref("Temporal/PlainMonthDay/toPlainDate", "Temporal.PlainMonthDay.prototype.toPlainDate()")}} : Returns a new {{jsxref("Temporal.PlainDate")}} object representing this month-day and a supplied year in the same calendar system. {{jsxref("Temporal/PlainMonthDay/toString", "Temporal.PlainMonthDay.prototype.toString()")}} : Returns a string representing this month-day in the RFC 9557 format. {{jsxref("Temporal/PlainMonthDay/valueOf", "Temporal.PlainMonthDay.prototype.valueOf()")}} : Throws a {{jsxref("TypeError")}}, which prevents Temporal.PlainMonthDay instances from being implicitly converted to primitives when used in arithmetic or comparison operations. {{jsxref("Temporal/PlainMonthDay/with", "Temporal.PlainMonthDay.prototype.with()")}} : Returns a new Temporal.PlainMonthDay object representing this month-day with some fields replaced by new values.
